Summit will be used primarily for research, which will help many scientists :) It will be used in areas such as:
We can see Summit in Tennessee at the Oak Ridge State Laboratory. Summit is so powerful that it made calculations during its construction. Director Thomas Zakaria is satisfied with the whole undertaking.
